I search around the room, suddenly realizing where I am and what just happened. I’m so embarrassed, Christ! I just blew him in my daughter's bedroom. What kind of mother does that? Luke’s pants are pooled around his ankles, and I was just about to hop on his dick and ride him like a bronco.What the hell is wrong with me?I have to get out of here, because clearly it’s impossible to think straight when I’m near this man.He is my kryptonite.
“I can’t do this. I need to get to work. Just make yourself at home and call me if you need anything.”Need me.“Goodbye!”
* * *
I drive straight to the Bean, needing to clear my head. There’s a mass of customers when I arrive, so I quickly jump behind the counter and assist Harper with the rush.
“Hey, girl, is everything okay? I figured you’d be at the hospital by now.” She studies me for the longest time as I busy myself, making two vanilla lattes for a tall, brown-haired woman wearing a navy business suit.
“Everything’s great,” I bark a little too gruffly, averting eye contact as I continue to work. Once the crowd begins to die down and Harper and Emily seem to have things under control, I make myself a latte and plop down at one of the tables.
“Hey, what’s going on with you?” Harper takes the seat across from me with her cup of coffee in hand. “Emily’s got this under control for a few minutes, so spill it, sister.” She glares at me, waiting for a response. “Come on, Sarah. We’ve known each other since grade school. Talk to me. What’s up with you and baby daddy?”
I stare down at my hands clutching my coffee cup, the same hands that held Luke’s dick an hour ago. “Luke’s staying at my house for a few days, and I can’t seem to think straight when I’m around him. Now I’m sorry I asked him to stay.”
“It’s serious between you two?”
I let out an exasperated sigh. “Well, considering I just gave him a blowjob in my daughter’s bedroom, I’d say yes,” I deadpan.
She lets out a deep, loud burst of laughter, alerting everyone in the shop. “You kinky little hussy!” she cries, holding her stomach as she chuckles.
I groan, burying my face in my hands. “I can’t control these feelings. When Luke's around, all I want to do is climb him like a tree. I’m only going to get hurt again once he leaves. I should never have slept with him in the first place.”
“You love him,” She states matter-of-factly.
“Yes, dammit!” The answer flies out of my mouth quickly. “I always have. He says he loves me, though, that was right after a stellar blowjob.”
She gives me a big cheesy grin. “You make mamma so proud. This is juicier than the book I read last night.”
“I’m trying to be serious here.” I scowl.
“So why don’t you talk to him? Give it a try, and see where it goes.”
“Everyone knows long-distance relationships don’t work.” We love each other, but I also know it isn’t enough. I’d only be setting myself up for some serious hurt. I don’t have room in my life right now for a man, especially when I know it’s only going to end with me curled up on the floor in a ball, with a bucket of tears by my side. “My heart won’t survive this time.”
“Look, Sarah, you’ve closed yourself off for a long time. Maybe it’s time you take a chance on something good.”
“I have not…I don’t want… I don’t need a man in my life to be happy. I’ve got Ashley,” I insist, sounding a little too annoyed.
“Honey, you deserve to be happy. What happens when Ashley’s all grown up and goes away to college? Then you'll have to get a cat, and I hate cats.”
“Huh? You have two of them.” I deadpan.
“I don’t want to see you miss out on something good, just because you’re afraid of taking a chance. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.”
Luke
I’m staying at her house, but we haven't seen each other for two days.Sarah is up and gone before the sun rises, coming home late, and immediately escaping to her bedroom. She’s avoiding me, and I need a game plan. Things are already in motion back home. I just need to convince her this is happening.
I’ve decided to make her dinner, executing the perfect chicken piccata, because I remember it’s her favorite. I’m not sure if she’s ready to talk yet, so I set the table for one. Wanting to do something special, I place a few candles and two dozen red roses in the center with a card that reads:I won'tlet you run from me.
I put a bottle of sauvignon blanc on ice and shoot her a text message.
Luke:Dinner is in the warmer when you get home.
Tell Ashley hello for me. I can’t wait to see her.
Have a good evening,
